Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill aims to close a legal gap: today a party can be dissolved for receiving illegal donations, but not one that benefits from internal structures set up to fund it illegally.
  2. To do this, it proposes adding a section 4 to Article 304 ter of the Criminal Code.
  3. If a company or entity is responsible for these acts, a judge could impose a fine of one to five years and, under the rules of Article 66 bis, other penalties available for legal entities.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
